Too many older adults face an invisible challenge this season: food insecurity. In 2023, more than 12 million older adults had difficulties getting enough to eat - a number that continues to rise. Because physicians connect regularly with aging patients, they are uniquely positioned to spot when someone may be struggling.

The holidays can be joyful, but they can also magnify social and economic challenges, such as isolation, food insecurity, and transportation barriers. As families gather and routines shift, physicians and care teams should check in with senior patients who may be having a hard time. These conversations can open the door to connecting patients with helpful resources for a healthier, more hopeful season.

With people traveling far and wide for the holidays, it’s a poignant reminder that some older adults have trouble getting to their destinations, even within their own town. When transportation barriers keep seniors homebound, isolation, missed medical appointments, and delayed care easily follow. By helping patients address transportation challenges, physicians and their care teams can lift holiday spirits and year-round health.

Loneliness isn’t just an emotional struggle. It is a health risk linked to anxiety, depression and chronic conditions like heart disease and obesity. Physicians, what are some ways you address loneliness with your patients during the holiday season?

As the holidays approach, patients may get caught up in the season and forget to schedule key health care appointments. Now is the time to remind them to book their 2026 annual wellness visit. Help them start the new year on track and get a clear picture of any chronic conditions and prevention needs early!

Some gifts are better left at home this season–like the flu! Encourage your patients to stay current on seasonal vaccines to protect themselves and their loved ones. Let’s make sure the only surprises this December are the ones wrapped in ribbons!

Managing diabetes goes beyond monitoring test results. It’s about ensuring people have the support they need to stay healthy.

Olga Oviedo, MSN, RN, CDCES, CNS, firmly believes that mentality is critical to help patients take charge of their health and well-being. Leading the CareAllies diabetes education team, Olga works with our physician practice partners to provide personalized support for people navigating a diabetes diagnosis.

Using data and referrals, Olga and her team identify patients who may benefit from additional support, such as those who:
- Have recently been diagnosed with diabetes
- Have an HbA1c over 8.5%
- Had a recent diabetes-related hospital admission

The diabetes educators schedule convenient, unrushed phone conversations with these patients to understand each person’s unique needs, develop customized education plans, and uncover potential barriers to care. They then work with additional CareAllies team members to resolve roadblocks, such as medication affordability, transportation, or food access.

Olga and her team have had a remarkable impact on the patients they serve. In 2024, patients supported by the team achieved, on average, a nearly 20% decrease in their HbA1c levels, demonstrating the power of what’s possible when compassionate care meets data-driven insight.

By addressing barriers like medication affordability and social determinants of health, the program achieved a 19.7% average reduction in HbA1c levels, with life-changing results for many patients.
